It is not a bug it is a feature. It is to stop players from doing the detacher thingy with vtol engines. Also you are allowed to edit the plane before trying the SAM challenge so there really is no issue here.
@ExperimentalDesign You would need to put your main wings right at the back or near the back of the plane and place your horizontal stabilizers at the front of your craft or at least in front of your main wings. If done correctly you should get a hyper maneuverable aircraft.
I have Arrrow Hayd. As for your aircraft, your wings are pretty much in the middle still with only the tips really being swept forward. Also your tail counters any forward sweptness that you have on your main wings.
Sooo technically you have a standard balanced aircraft.
@BoxGlow The props are standard, you can replace them too (set it to 250 power and it is still fast). Only thing xml touched is the structural wings to allow control surfaces.
AWESOME.
It turned out 100x better than I expected. The waiting for updates and parts was totally worth it.
Flying and shooting all the weapons awesome and it flies really well. Even with just one side of the wings. Inspirational and Impressive work!
@Eldael By placing a cockpit off of the plane somewhere in the designer I can work on different parts of a design without having it attached to the main design. This is reeally handy when it comes to details and specific parts of a build that are either hard to reach or just not editable once attached to the main build.
I don't think there is an actual building technique to this game. There are quite a few tips tricks, however for me to start telling you about using two or more cockpits during the building process, I am not sure you would understand the reason why.
As far as I know there is not one design on this site that can hover flat for more than a few seconds.
Get the CoM circle and the CoL circle exactly on each other if your using only VTOL or only propellers.
If you are using a mix of different propulsion types, then you have to edit then play test, edit then play test, edit then play test until you get the balance good enough.
There are two ways to get some kind of struts, the easiest and simplest is to use structural wings, the other way is to find someones design with a XML edited fuselage piece, download that, take the piece of the plane and save it as a sub-assembly.
No impact performance with multiple bots. What impacts performance the most are total part count, wings and buoyancy (but not so much if u not in water). The more individual wing parts a plane has the more cpu gets used. If for instance when I race against my quadruple plane there is major drop in frame rate.
@DragonKing No. Ask Apple...
@maverickvii @JMicah4 @ahappyape @ququrooza @TheDerpyDude Thanks guys!
@Jetliner101 It needs to have so many parts for the wings to get the shape. I could try structural panels instead.
@ahappyape What device and android version are you running? I'm currently play testing and making small adjustments. Hopefully it should be complete for the weekend.
@TheSteampunker It adds custom vtol, small blasto jet and blasto j120
@WalrusAircraft Yes, Unity and No. Adding your own custom basic part similar to the 1st basic blocks is very simple following the modding wiki tutorials. Adding a part with some sort of function like movement, smoke or something else is not so simple.
@dsr1aviation @TheSteampunker, Thanks.
To install mod:
Android = Open mod, should open automatically with SP. Or use some kind of file browser and put the download in "Android/data/com.jundroo.SimplePlanes/files/Mods/"
PC = Use search, then copy and paste "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\Mods\" into search bar and put the download in that folder.
@LukeDaDuke Thats cool to see someone using the kary parts mod! as for your plane it could fly before just unstably. Now it can fly and vtol manuvers too around 14%.download it and reupload it as your own if ya want since I will delete it after some time.
@XVIdarkLithium @Delphinus
Alrite I have no idea what is happening but I have changed a few things around and uploaded a new version = Krazy Wurld Android
@Verdnan
Are you using the mod with roads in it?
In the new version I have fixed the helipads. As for steering on top of buildings I have to change a few settings and that should be sorted.
What device and android version you use?
It does take a while to load for 1st time, so just let simpleplanes unpack the mod then it should be ok. However I have uploaded a version without the roads. Krazy Wurld Android no roads
@A5mod3us The challenge was based around another challenge within SimplePlanes which was a nice base to go off of. It is also interesting to see how others have built and try them out too. Good competion that!
The only way there will be multiplayer is if someone makes a MULTIPLAYER MOD. The game from the start was not intended for multiplayer. If the devs were intending on it being multiplayer we would have had it by now trust me on this one.
WEAPONS
This game is primarily intended for education/learning. What the devs have done is made it feel like your just having fun and you dont even realise that your learning the basics to a number of things involving aircraft design and characteristics of flight.
I feel that Weapons are pretty much only used for destruction and if there was multiplayer I could see it being alright as the way parts exploded and break off make it like similar to the Awesome Destruction Physics like the Red Faction Series.
However without things to destroy actually working weapons are useless.
EVERYTHING Should BE ADJUSTABLE or SCALEABLE
Simple really, with the new fuselage part, which once you have mastered how to use will make you forget about the standard blocks, since the fuselage part can do all that plus more. Aslo if all engines were scalable it would reduce the amount of dodgy xml modded engines.
@AndrewGarrison Thanks. However I was looking more for a complete list, so it just displayed every single tag availble rather than searching. Although the way that page works is really cool.

1:13 with my UAP IX could probably get under 1 minute if some of the engines were not tied to an activator.
It would be better for you to say what you need 1st.
You have my Support!

@laSoul Yeh that would be good.
More please, could you possibly make the something in the Garuda Class
This has so some potential. to become even better.
I love Studio Ghibli films. I am planning to try and add a Porco Rosso type Island in my map mod. this is cool.
Cool decals

@BehrmanTheBeerman Thanks for making a cool video with the plane.
If you are on PC or Mac or Android then YES there is a way to get infinite fuel.
@BehrmanTheBeerman I havent made the plane yet and the challenge will be open to everyone

The more individual wing parts a plane has the more cpu gets used. If for instance when I race against my quadruple plane there is major drop in frame rate.
@Droslash Yes the races are a good way of testing your planes abilities. Just select A.I. mode and control throttle.
Oooh this is cool and you have just giving me an idea for a challenge. Thanks.
@Droslash When you try doing the races at 2000mph+ slow motion is very useful and it also helps when dive bombing.
The part cloning makes building designs with so much more efficient especially with multiple wing parts.
It looks good and the best thing about this is that it can actually fly and handles really well.

@WalrusAircraft The comment section is not the best place to go into depth about Modding and Unity. I will start a thread over at SimpleForums

I like the family tree view

Congrats all winners!
And I thought my working yaw and cool pusher prop design would win the looks (>_<)
I demand a redo! Test them all again....
I just rounded off the 49 to 50 heheheeheheeheheheehe

How to get your profile picture
@Puredeath yeh i remeber that for next time, thanks
@Puredeath click on my name and go to my profile, check my latest planes, it is primarily used for them.
@nathanmikeska Good to know and as for the syntax i was just being lazy =) but i will use it in future, promise!
